Peace effort brokered by US between Taliban and Afghanistan's government struggles to get off the ground amid militant attacks
An Afghan policeman stands guard after an explosion near police headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. August 7, 2019.
The Taliban and the United States struck a deal last month allowing the United States and its allies to withdraw their forces in exchange for Taliban promises on preventing terrorism. The Taliban have not agreed to a ceasefire with government forces and fighting has not ended, although the insurgents have not announced any spring offensive, which they normally do at this time of the year.
In the southern province of Zabul, Taliban forces attacked government security outposts, killing at least 11 soldiers, also on Sunday, police said. The ministry of defence said on Twitter six soldiers were killed in those clashes.
